Brock told officers he was scared and repenting of his sins, police said.
Officers were flagged down at approximately 9:10 a.m. by a bystander who reported a naked man in the area.
Dispatch records showed multiple calls reporting a man walking toward the downtown area near South Greenmount Avenue and East High Street.
After being located, Brock initially asked to be taken to a hospital, prompting officers to call for a medic.
Officers placed Brock in the back of an officer’s police cruiser and located his clothing near South Greenmount Avenue.
After officers returned his clothing and Brock dressed himself, he refused hospital transport and was taken into custody.
Brock was on probation.
Brock was booked into the Clark County Jail.
He is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday, Sept. 8, at 10:30 a.m.
